<p>I have family in Newton and Brookline, so I’ve visited Boston several times. BU was actually the first college I ever seriously visited, and although I’ve heard some dissenting opinions regarding the attractiveness of the campus, I couldn’t love it more!</p>

<p>If you really love BU, and money’s not an issue, apply ED. With that ACT score and rigorous schedule, I think you have a solid chance at the University Scholarship (half-tuition).</p>
